Find out if you qualify for Kith.care

Kith.care was created specifically to help families where a traditional child care center or a private nanny isn’t an option, but there is a family member who can act as a caretaker.


Approved caretakers will be paid $25 per child / day (a day of care must be at least 4 hours to qualify).

Parents likely qualify for Kith.care if:

  • They have a child under 13 years old who is a US citizen (citizenship not required for parents)
And
  • They are eligible for OKDHS child care subsidy
Or
  • They are an essential worker as defined by OKDHS (funding extended until June 30, 2023)
